Narratives are a complex and vast form, thereby rendering this resource only one limited framework within which to begin learning about narratives. That is why we would suggest the following links, resources and information for one's own pursuance and to add depth to one's understanding of learner narratives.

Homer for the Holidays: The Further Adventures of WIlson the Pug- Wilson the Pug with Nancy Levine
(Often it is difficult for learners who are refugees to talk about their stories, however using a family pet (could be a fictional pet) or an inanimate object takes the pressure off the learner and puts the feelings that they may not be ready to express onto the animal or object thus alleviating some of the pressure the learner may feel)

I Hate English! - Ellen Levine

Let's Talk About Race- Julius Lester
(This book is written from an American perspective and discusses American notions about race that are not representative of Canadian ones)

Note to teachers:
When selecting books for your class, remember that all sources can be good learning materials if they are contextualized and used critically. The source of the country where the book was written will give different perspectives on topics that may or may not be representative of those occurring in the places the students are currently living, or perhaps clash with previous beliefs and practices. There is the issue of political reception to many topics that differs from country to country. Race is viewed differently in the United States than it is elsewhere; likewise the concept of multiculturalism that Canada supports officially isn't always de facto; these are things that learners should be made aware of.
We've added books geared toward younger learners as we hadn't really incorporated them into our narrative resource and thought that books would be a good way to bridge the gap. In addition they are not limited for the use in primary schools, because secondary level students can learn complex topics through children's books and can even use them as examples to create their own. The possibilities are endless.
